Stripped Bare by Lowri Turner
Three women in a bate: BETH - director of 'On the House', a prime-time homes and gardens makeover show. It's bad enough juggling the egos of neurotic tv presenters, sex-mad handymen and furious home owners, without the additional pressure to improve ratings. At home Beth needs support. So why does her husband have to work late every evening, leaving her, literally, holding the baby? SIOBHAN - assistant producer of 'On the House'. On the surface, she's gorgeous and confident, with an exciting love life. But in reality, when it comes to men, she has a kamikaze instinct - and her affair with Simon (married, two children) is more off than on. OLIVIA - glamorous bohemian wardrobe designer of 'On the House'. Mother of four children and the perfect modern marriage. So why is Colin spending more time with Nigel, the health visitor, than with his Agent Provocateured wife? Three women, three friends, many, many problems. Just like life really.
